My property management company went out of business mid-2024 and no longer exists.
I'm unable to get a 1099 for the first half of the year to complete my taxes.
What are an investor's options in this situation?  
Thanks ~ JT

> I would avoid any MSA that is declining in population, period.

I'm wondering if this isn't too drastic.  In Cleveland for example, the population is declining by 1%.  But the Cleveland Clinic is building new hospitals, which means more nurses, medical techs, ambulance drivers, orderlies - people who RENT and are in a stable industry.  I don't care how many billionaires or homeless people leave Cleveland because those aren't my renters.  The segment of the population that matters are those who'll rent a 1,000 sq ft 3 br, 1 bath cottage in Parma Heights OH, and THAT segment of the population is exploding in Cleveland.  So I don't dismiss a market due to top-level population numbers. I drill down a level deeper and see how the TENANT population is trending, up or down.  If that's the wrong way to think about it, let me know!
